Electromagnetism to Rewire and Recharge Your Health Excerpt from the new book ELECTRIC BODY, ELECTRIC HEALTH by Eileen Day McKusick

he prevailing paradigm in Western science says that we are chemical, mechanical beings. But a new paradigm is beginning to emerge that suggests we are fundamentally electromagnetic and vibrational. It suggests that we — and the cosmos that is our home — are made up of light and sound and waveforms across an unimaginably vast array of frequencies. Like fish in water, we are swimming at all times in an ocean of energy. Look around you: Everything is energy! Everything you see is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Not only light bulbs and computers and iPhones but planets, animals, stars, and entire galaxies — it’s all electrical. The page you’re reading, the chair you’re sitting in, the ground beneath your feet, the planet you live on, the sun that heats that planet are ultimately just electromagnetic energy vibrating at different frequencies — in other words, electricity. It’s all energy, frequency, and vibration. Every single thing in our observable universe is in constant motion on an atomic or subatomic level — even things like rocks that appear motionless. As the great physicist Richard Freyman says, “Everything jiggles,” or as I like to put it, “Everything jitterbugs,” thanks to the exchange of positive and negative forces that gives rise to this dance of energy. There’s no such thing as a “noun” when we get right down to it, because everything is actually a process. (Interestingly, the Hopi language doesn’t contain any nouns, and it better reflects the essential fluidity of the world around us.) When vibrations come together, they start to sync up and resonate at the same frequency in a kind of spontaneous self-organization, which is described in physics as sympathetic resonance. This resonance many also form the basis of what we consciousness, or intelligence, which science is increasingly revealing to be a fundamental property of energy and, therefore, all matter. For many years in my sound therapy practice, I was treating people’s physical and mental problems by working in their energy fields, also known as the biofield.

ever-curious mind quickly led me to a deep and long-running investigation of what the heck I was actually working with. What was clear was that when we refer to this invisible substance called energy in the context of energy medicine, we are speaking of electromagnetic energy as opposed to other kinds of energy (kinetic, thermal, chemical, and so on). So, what is electromagnetism? Simply put, it's the movement of charged electric particles and the magnetic fields that are generated from that electric charge. In other words, it’s the spectrum of visible and invisible light (or put another way, sound). What we call voltage is the force that makes electric currents move, also called the electromotive force. The higher the voltage, the stronger the current. In your body, stronger voltage means more energy running through your wires and a brighter inner light. When the amount of voltage flowing through your system drops, we have less energy available to power all the processes in our body. Disease and loss of vitality are the eventual results of a low-voltage state.
Electric Body, Electric Health While scientists have been studying human bioelectricity for over one hundred years, the new technologies and discoveries of the past decade have brought a much fuller picture of our electric bodies to light. What I have discovered is that taking care of your electric health is a much easier, more efficient, and even more fun way of approaching health than the standard chemical-mechanical approach. It is more efficient because our electric body is primary and causal, so working on this level allows us to get right to the root of things. It is the blueprint for our physiology and the template that gives rise to what is occurring in the body. When we get issues sorted out of our electrical systems — primarily resistance and distortion manifesting as pain, uncomfortable emotions, and bad habits — the issues in the physical body take care of themselves. It’s an elegant, backdoor
